Ingredients
  

  • 3 oz (85 g) bacon, cooked crispy
  • 3 oz (85 g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ tsp (2.5 ml / 0.1 fl oz) maple flavor extract
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp (30 g / 1.06 oz) crushed pecans
  • For the best texture, cook your bacon until it's extra crispy so it crumbles easily and adds a satisfying crunch.
  • If the cream cheese mixture is too sticky to handle, chill it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before rolling into balls.
  • Make a larger batch and store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month for a quick grab-and-go snack.
  • Feel free to swap the pecans for other crushed nuts like walnuts or almonds, or even toasted sesame seeds for a different flavor.

Method

  2. Finely chop the crispy cooked bacon into small, crumb-like pieces.

  6. Spread the crushed pecans onto a small plate.
  7. Roll each ball in the pecans, pressing gently to ensure they are evenly coated.
